There is a version of elderly dating sites for people over 80 that works and a version that wastes your time. I rate sites of this type on how much personal data it asks for and nothing else, in practice.

The difference was smaller on elderly dating sites in day-to-day use but still there. Would be interested to hear whether elderly dating sites for people over 80 behaved differently for anyone else.

#2

Tried elderly dating sites for people over 80 across three different phones and the results weren't consistent. I stopped comparing feature lists on dating sites and started comparing how much personal data it asks for.

Worth noting that elderly dating changed after their last update. Support confirmed part of this about the sites in question when I asked. Curious whether others found the same on elderly dating sites.

Worth a look at EZHookups's free tier if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

That is the standard answer, Liam_SEA, and I think elderly dating sites for people over 80 sits outside it.

Everything I got wrong about elderly dating sites traced back to how much personal data it asks for. I will update this if dating sites shifts again.

I'd frame elderly dating sites for people over 80 differently to how the question is worded.

The order I check things with the sites in question:

  • how many platforms like these profiles are actually active this month
  • whether the these sites userbase is real inside your radius
  • whether verification on sites of this type is enforced or merely offered

Has anyone tried platforms like these outside a major city? That's my read on elderly dating sites for people over 80, for whatever it's worth.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with DateDesire.

All of this makes more sense once you accept that how much personal data it asks for varies wildly across dating sites. Curious whether others found the same on sites of this type.

Nothing I read about elderly dating sites for people over 80 prepared me for how much personal data it asks for.

What I check before committing to these sites:

  • how visible your profile is by default on elderly dating sites
  • how sites of this type treats a paused account
  • how blocking works on platforms like these
  • whether platforms like these shows read receipts on the free tier

I checked platforms like these on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Anyway — that's the honest version of elderly dating sites for people over 80.

Ran into elderly dating sites for people over 80 last autumn and the situation has already shifted. The real gap on elderly dating comes down to how much personal data it asks for.

I checked dating sites on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. Take that as one data point on platforms like these, not gospel.

Tried elderly dating sites for people over 80 across three different phones and the results weren't consistent. The reason people end up disappointed by platforms like these is how much personal data it asks for.

Two other people here reported the same thing about elderly dating sites. Did anyone else find whether the userbase is active in your area got worse recently on dating sites? Happy to go into more detail on the sites in question if that helps.

For a lighter-weight alternative I have had reasonable results with DateLink.

Liam_SEA has this backwards in my view: with elderly dating sites for people over 80, whether the free tier includes messaging is the symptom, not the cause. What nobody said about these sites is that how much personal data it asks for changes month to month.

I ran two accounts side by side on elderly dating sites to be sure. Ask if you want the specifics on elderly dating sites for people over 80.
